“Obama’s message in LGBT exec order to every Christian-run business in America: drop dead. It’s faith or funding.

Signing the order, Obama had said:

“It doesn’t make much sense, but today in America, millions of our citizens go to work with the awareness they could lose their job because of who they are – lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender – and that’s wrong.

“We’re here to do what we can to make it right. To bend the arc of justice, just a little bit, in the right direction

“This is not a matter of political correctness. People lose their jobs. Their lives are threatened, their families are threatened. It’s time to address this injustice for every American.

“We’ve got a long way to go, but I hope [today] you are reminded of the extraordinary progress we have made. We are on the right side of history.”
